Refuse to join the Wansui Army, I will build an ace division

With the foundation of the first battle, the enemy mistakenly believed that our army was preparing to launch an all-out counterattack, so they deployed a large number of troops in many positions.

As a result, their battle line was greatly stretched and their forces were dispersed.

Therefore, our army promptly adjusted its combat deployment, switching to a focused attack and making every effort to fight for several important positions. Other units were responsible for feinting attacks and attracting firepower.

Bailong Mountain, located north of Tieyuan, is a place that must be fought for.

There is a plain to the east of Bailong Mountain, and one of the main military supply lines of the Allied Forces is to the south. If we can capture this place, our army will be able to seize the initiative in the battle in the Iron Triangle area.

As early as the autumn defensive battle of 1951, the United Nations forces had their eyes on Bailong Mountain.

In order to capture this high ground, they sent a large number of troops and seized the position from the 42nd Army. Then, in order to defend the position, they set up barbed wire, set up mine ambushes, and dispatched many tanks and planes.

Although the 42nd Army organized several counterattacks, it was still unable to defeat the enemy.

After Zhisi learned about the situation in Bailong Mountain, he was a little troubled for a moment.

The first thing they thought of was to let the 38th Army, known as the Long Live Army, take the main attack. However, after the blocking battle on the south bank of Hanjiang River, the 38th Army suffered extremely serious losses. Now most of the troops are new recruits entering North Korea for the first time. It is inevitable that it is inappropriate for them to take on such a difficult task right away.

Then the commander thought of the 40th Army.

Since entering North Korea, the 40th Army has won five battles in a row and is particularly good at attacking strongholds and forging iron walls, which seems to make it more suitable for this mission.

Moreover, the commander also thought of the 118th Division commanded by Li Xiangyang.

After more than half a year of summer and autumn counterattacks, he has deeply realized the superiority of this combined brigade, and it would be a piece of cake to use it to attack Bailong Mountain.

But at the same time, the commander also received intelligence about Shangganling.

The enemy dispatched several divisions and launched a fierce attack on our positions north of Jinhua.

The 15th Army held out for many days and suffered heavy casualties.

Therefore, the commander wanted to have the 40th Army replace the 15th Army and take charge of the battle in the Shangganling area.

Just when he couldn't make up his mind, Deputy Commander Han woke him up.

"Commander, the 118th Division is highly mobile and can rush to both battlefields in no time. We can have it cooperate with the 38th Army to capture Bailong Mountain and then move on to Shangganling!"

Hearing this, the commander patted his head and smiled.

"That's right, we shouldn't look at this new team with old eyes!"

Afterwards, the commander gave the 38th Army the task of capturing Bailong Mountain, and ordered the 40th Army to go to Jinhua area to replace the 15th Army.

After receiving the combat order, Wen Cheng convened a pre-war meeting at the command center.

"Li Xiangyang, this time the Zhisi has high hopes for your 118th Division, you must fight with style!"

Li Xiangyang nodded, and memories of his past life came to his mind.

In his previous life, he didn’t know much about the Korean War, but the experience of Bailong Mountain was very unforgettable to him.

This battle will be our army’s eternal pain.

Then, Li Xiangyang remembered the man's name.

"Gu Zhongjiao, you must pay for the sins you committed in your last life in this life!"

......

at the same time.

After receiving the order, the 38th Army began special training for the soldiers participating in the war. In addition to conventional training such as shooting and long-distance running, special training such as covert operations was also added.

This is exactly the special battalion training method created by Li Xiangyang, which has now gradually become popular throughout the army.

In addition, the current 38th Army is equipped with new Soviet equipment, which can be said to be a complete upgrade.

Although the former Commander Liang returned home due to illness, the newly appointed Commander Jiang also has an undefeated myth in the army.

Therefore, everyone in the 38th Army was full of confidence in this battle.

The assault was carried out by two battalions of the 114th Regiment of the 340th Division.

While everyone was stepping up their training and preparing for the upcoming war, one soldier in the team seemed a little absent-minded.

This person is Gu Zhongjiao.

He was originally an officer of the Blue Army, and later joined our army during the Liberation War. After the outbreak of the Korean War, he was recruited into the 1949th Army in June 6 because of his cultural foundation. He was assigned to the 38th Company, 114rd Battalion, 340th Regiment, 3th Division, and served as a deputy platoon leader and cultural instructor.

Although Gu Zhongjiao did not have great abilities, he was quite smart. He knew that he was from the Blue Army and if he wanted to be promoted, he had to perform outstandingly. So in every battle, he would shout slogans and fight alongside the soldiers in spirit.

There was a shortage of intellectuals in the military, and he was so "active and enthusiastic" that he was taken seriously by his superiors.

In the previous battles, Gu Zhongjiao made full use of his superiors' emphasis on intellectuals. He would always ask for battle and put on a brave and fearless attitude.

When his superior rejected his letter of application, he seemed very disappointed, but in fact he was secretly delighted.

During the attack on Bailong Mountain, Gu Zhongjiao used the same old trick and once again asked his superiors for help.

Perhaps his performance this time was too realistic, which caused trouble for his superiors.

Let Comrade Gu go. He was a rare intellectual and it would be a pity to see him die.

If I don't let him go, I'm afraid of hurting his feelings.

But Gu Zhongjiao had no idea what his superior was thinking, and he continued to perform as hard as usual, acting as if he would not give up until he was allowed to go.

This active attitude of asking for battle actually successfully frightened the commander of the 3rd Battalion, Sanxi.

"How can we discourage such a good fighter?"

In the end, Bai Sanxi waved his hand and approved his request to fight.

This time, Gu Zhongjiao was completely dumbfounded.

He was just talking and didn't really mean it!

But the boasting has been made and the higher-ups have agreed. If we really regret it now, we would be a complete deserter.

Therefore, Gu Zhongjiao, who was forced to do the training, had to grit his teeth and accept special training with other soldiers.

However, his dissatisfaction grew.

After a few days, everyone else was fine, but Gu Zhongjiao was almost on the verge of collapse.

This is not what a human being should do!

Gu Zhongjiao lay on the bed, wailing non-stop. He felt like his whole body was falling apart and there was not a single place that didn't hurt.

"Teacher Gu, please hold on a little longer. We will have to fight the day after tomorrow!"

A soldier fetched some water for him and came over to comfort him.

Gu Zhongjiao forced a smile and said, "Thank you, comrade."

That night, he tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

Gu Zhongjiao kept thinking in his mind, "Why not just surrender to the enemy? It's not like I haven't done this before. Didn't I save my life by doing this during the Liberation War?"

There is a saying that goes, the first time is new, the second time is familiar!
